Sebelius to kids: Instead of calling each other “jerks,” why don’t you call each other “jerks”? « Hot Air

Sebelius to kids: Instead of calling each other “jerks,” why don’t you call each other “jerks”? « Hot Air: "Which is it? Is “jerk” a taboo word or the right word to use to speak out against … jerks? As they say, “Live by political correctness, die by political correctness.” As we teach kids to stand up against bullies, are we actually depriving them of the skills and tools they need to stand up against bullies? It’s a serious question.

Sebelius contradicted herself on another point. She said the government plays an important role in combating bullying in schools — presumably by drawing awareness to the issue. But then she hit the nail on the head when she said parents should step in when a child is bullied. “As a parent you should be empowered to really act on behalf of your child and other children,” she said."

Another "dumb as folk" government official.
